I'm A Celebrity star Tulisa Contostavlos opened up about the horrific night her drink was spiked and she was sexually assaulted.
The N-Dubz icon, 36, recently sat down with Celebs Go Dating expert Paul Brunson on his We Need To Talk podcast and discussed when she was assaulted at only 16.
Bravely waiving her right to anonymity, Tulisa claimed to the host: "I remember seeing one of them, they had something in their drink, and it was fizzing, and I instantly thought, oh God." The musician became scared because of her "super sensitive" reaction to drugs and went on to describe her thoughts in that moment.
"They’re taking drugs. What are you putting in there? And I looked to him, and I was like, please, please, please don't put anything in my drink," she went on to claim. "I was like, I'm super sensitive, because at the time I'd started having like, fits off the back of just weed. So I was like, I can't take any drug.
"Like, please, please don't put any drugs in my drink. Like, and he was like, no, no." Tulisa claimed she blacked out before she was assaulted. She said she was confused on what was happening and then remembered seeing 'flashes of being in a car'. Tulisa alleged: "I remembered feeling like, what is going on? And then next thing, you know, I just remember flashes of being in a car and just seeing the lights, the street lights.
"So I must have been lying back, and I just remember open my eyes for a second, seeing street lights, street lights, street lights, and then, obviously, waking up in a room, and then, yeah, the rest is history.” Tulisa went on to say about how she 'would have attacked him'.
Opening up to Paul, Tulisa added: "I think I probably would have attacked him, so I wouldn't have been able to report it is the truth. Probably would have punished the crap out of him and not wanting to report it, because I would have got in trouble." The singer said she's not one for 'self-blame' and went on to say it was 'all him'.
“To this day, I'm not someone when I feel hurt or backed in a corner, goes to self-blame. I blamed him through and through. Didn't look at one bit of my action and think what could I have done differently? That is all him," Tulisa stated.
